Saskatchewan vs Ontario 6

 In Saskatchewan, I have seen every water tap has two openers. One is for hot water another one gives chilled one. We had to open both to get the water temperature we want. It's mixed with both tap water to make the one we want. This actually gives little trouble to figure out how to make the perfect temperature water and make more water waste because we mix and test again to change both water flow.

In Ontario, we have one water tap. You can move it around to get the water temperature you want. It is easy to manage and makes less water waste.

In Saskatchewan, the commode flash tank is bigger, which makes more water waste, because you don't need a full tank of water always. In Ontario, they have changed the system. So it flashes less water. If needed you can flash a couple of times. I know, The city of Saskatoon is already thinking to apply that in their city.

In Ontario library has an automated book returning system. I mean you can return your book to a machine. It will immediately check the book and inform you what books it has taken. Saskatoon has an automated book lending system. To return we still just dropped the book in the library. 

Saskatchewan doesn't have any streetcar or tram in the city. No underground or sky train. I will say The city of Saskatoon should start plan about it (If they are not already). Because the city is growing. You will need that in future. Why start planning and make it happen now. The city stays under snow most of the time of the year. I believe an underground train will be a good option when roads became very dangerous.

The security guard course is very high in Saskatchewan. Even the exam fee for a driving license is also very high. When another cost of the city is less than Ontario, then why these fees are too high?

Saskatchewan people are very friendly to the new face or stranger. In Ontario, if you say "Hi" to a stranger, that person will be suspicious and won't answer you.

Saskatchewan people expect a welcome greet from any shopping mall. People get upset if no one welcomes them properly. In Ontario, nobody bothers about it.

The Fall is very colourful in Saskatchewan, mostly the trees become yellow and orange coloured. Ontario has more red in the colour.

Though both provinces are in Canada, both of them have many dissimilarities.

 I believe the education system is the backbone of any country. The best investment for the better future of the country is investing in education. Your kids are your future. The more they will be educated, the brighter future you can expect from them. A good education will help to boom their creativity and good energy.

When I was in Saskatchewan, I have seen their government cut off money from kid's education. The school fall in big trouble. To continue their activity they had to ask parents to donate money. They started different activities to earn money for the kids, to continue their extra curriculum activity and staff expenses. I felt terrible. It's easy to take money away from the kid's section, they won't understand and won't create any political trouble.

Saskatchewan government also provide very few amounts of grant for the study. To achieve a degree one had to earn and save money first then they can try to get any degree. Or can ask loan from the bank, which they had to return with interest. This is not encouraging to look for more education.

In Ontario, the education scenario is totally different. Here, anyone can get a degree if they want. They can get grants and loans from the government easily. But again. They had to return only the loan with interest. I wish they could give all the money as a grant. At least remove all interest from the student loan. That would be encouraging for me to get more training and education. I don't take any loans, I don't like it. And I don't want to get involved with any "interest". Because of religious thought.

Saskatchewan VS Ontario

[I have taken the video from my bedroom when fireworks almost finished in our area, but there were some far away]

 I have landed in Canada at Pearson International Airport. But I didn't go out, I took the next flight to Saskatchewan. My life in Canada started in Saskatchewan. I had lived there for more than 5 years. Then I moved to Ontario.

In Saskatchewan, whoever gets to know that I am moving to Ontario, the way they congratulate me like I'm moving to Canada from any third world country. Some asked they want to move too, so what are the pros and cons.

After moving to Ontario, many people from Ontario asked me how is Ontario. I can assume they want to listen to something good about it. But the truth is a little different. And, I didn't want to break their heart. So, I have answered something diplomatically.

Before moving to Toronto I have heard from the Toronto people that this is a very big city.  But you have to understand in Bangladesh I was born and grow in a megacity. If I compare it in my mind it's not that big. And I was living in the biggest city in Saskatchewan. So, I was expecting more.

In many issues, Toronto has good services. But there are many issues too where I felt Saskatchewan has better service. Saskatchewan has always low budget than these big cities. Still, in many issues, they are managing better. Now, I can't say this to Toronto people on their faces. I'm sure they won't like it.

The weather surprises me the most. After moving from Saskatchewan to Ontario I felt. I came to Bangladesh from Canada. Hot and humid weather. The temperature isn't very low but we felt too cold. And get cold too.

People don't want to maintain traffic rules. The road design needed to do better to avoid collisions. Needed more signs to mention about the road speed, especially before joining different road speed limits.

The online system is needed for personal health and driving info. Saskatchewan has something better. And, this info should be free.

Bus stoppages should be like the Richmond area in Ontario. Most of them are still like Saskatchewan bus stoppages. 

Bus and other public transport costs should be minimized, to encourage people to use public transport. Now if two people want to make a journey, Ubar seems cheaper. Because in most cases you will need to change the bus and pay more. In Saskatchewan, people don't need to pay more if they use transit within 1.5 hours.

I like the way Ontario people enjoyed Victoria day. From 8 pm 12am everywhere people were firing fireworks. I was standing on my balcony and watching fireworks, some are near and some were firing far away. It was amazing. at a time fireworks in ten places. I didn't see this kind of enjoyment in Saskatchewan.

Now, in the pandemic, I don't go out much. I don't meet people or go to any place unnecessarily. So,  I actually didn't see the real Ontario life. I have to wait for more.
